Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desvelar a percep??o de risco da utiliza??o de agrot?xicos na atividade de trabalho de agricultores rurais feirantes e de estudantes de um Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gest?o Ambiental da cidade de Ara?ua? (MG). T?cnica e Instrumentos: Como t?cnica para apreens?o das informa??es foi utilizado um question?rio semiestruturado, adaptado da abordagem tipo diagn?stico r?pido. Para a an?lise das informa??es, foi realizada an?lise estat?stica descritiva simples e an?lise de conte?do. Participaram da pesquisa 41 agricultores feirantes que comercializam os seus produtos na feira de Ara?ua? e 40 estudantes do curso Superior em Gest?o Ambiental. Resultados e Discuss?o: Observou-se que a defini??es dos agrot?xicos relatadas pelos participantes, est?o em conson?ncia com o Decreto n? 4074/2002 que trata do assunto, no entanto, estes tamb?m identificaram a utiliza??o dos agrot?xicos como um risco para a sa?de e para o ambiente. Como principais riscos relacionados ? sa?de foram mencionados as doen?as cr?nicas, tais como: c?ncer, problemas cardiovasculares e doen?as respirat?rias. Quanto aos riscos ao meio ambiente foi mencionado a contamina??o do ar, a ?gua a flora a ?gua e o solo. Como fonte de informa??o a respeito dos agrot?xicos, foram citados televis?o, cursos ministrados por organiza??es n?o governamentais, ?rg?os do governo estadual e federal, assim como tamb?m experi?ncias de vida. Observou-se que essas fontes de informa??o tiveram influ?ncia na percep??o de risco e na utiliza??o dos agrot?xicos dos participantes. Dessa forma foi poss?vel perceber que a percep??o de risco ? multideterminada e pr?ticas educativas relacionada ? sa?de e ao ambiente com programas que enfatizem t?cnicas alternativas de manejo de pragas e pr?ticas seguras de uso de agrot?xicos, possa ser uma das a??es que influencia a percep??o de risco acerca da utiliza??o de agrot?xicos e, por conseguinte, diminuir os riscos de contamina??o e agravos ? sa?de. === Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ?

Objective: This study aimed to reveal the risk perception of using pesticides in the work activity of fairground rural farmers and students of a Technology Course in Environmental Management in the city of Ara?ua? (MG). Technique and instruments: A semi-structured questionnaire adapted from fast approach type diagnosis was used as a technique for the seizure of the information. For the analysis of the information, simple descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis were performed. The participants were 41 stallholder farmers who commercialized their products at the fair in Ara?ua? and 40 students of the Higher Education Course in Environmental Management. Results and Discussion: It was observed that the definitions of pesticides reported by the participants are in line with Decree n? 4074/2002 which deals with the subject. However, they also identified the use of pesticides as a risk to health and the environment. The main health-related risks, chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems and respiratory diseases were mentioned. As the risks to the environment, air pollution, water and flora, water and soil were mentioned. As a source of information regarding pesticides, television, courses taught by non-governmental organizations and by agencies of the state and federal government, as well as life experience, were cited. It was noted that these sources of information influenced the perception of risk and the use of pesticides by the participants. Thus it was revealed that the perception of risk is multidetermined and the educational practices related to health and the environment with programs that stress alternative pest management and safe practices of pesticide use, may be one of the actions that influence the perception of risk about the use of pesticides and therefore, reduce the risk of contamination and health problems.
